Dermatology ClinicUneven Skin Tone Treatment in Busan, Korea Patchy brown spots, redness and dull areas, treated by cause for a clearer, more even complexion
Uneven skin tone is usually a mix of pigment, redness and dullness. At JRYN Seomyeon, your doctor separates them and treats each one, with pico toning from ₩20,000 per session, vascular lasers for redness and brightening care.
What causes uneven skin tone, and how is it treated?
Uneven skin tone means some areas of your face look darker, redder or duller than others. The common causes are sun damage and sun spots, melasma, post-acne marks (brown or red), visible small vessels and redness, and a build-up of rough, dull surface skin. Each cause sits at a different depth and needs a different tool, so the most reliable results come from treating them in the right order, usually over a course of sessions.
At JRYN Seomyeon, pico toning is ₩20,000 per session with PicoCare, ₩40,000 with It’s Pico and ₩200,000 with PicoWay or Discovery Pico. For redness, Excel V is ₩99,000 and Vbeam Perfecta ₩200,000 per session. Your doctor confirms the plan and total at consultation. Results vary, and daily sunscreen is part of every plan.

Uneven Skin Tone FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
What is the best treatment for uneven skin tone?
It depends on the cause. Pico laser toning works well for brown spots and pigment, vascular lasers such as Vbeam Perfecta or Excel V treat redness, and brightening care helps dullness. Most people have more than one cause, so a doctor’s assessment comes first.
How much does uneven skin tone treatment cost in Busan?
At JRYN Seomyeon, pico toning is ₩20,000 (PicoCare), ₩40,000 (It’s Pico) or ₩200,000 (PicoWay or Discovery Pico) per session. Excel V is ₩99,000, Vbeam Perfecta ₩200,000 and the Whitening Care package ₩190,000. Your doctor confirms the plan and total.
How many sessions will I need?
Toning usually works over a course of several sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Sun spots may fade faster, while melasma needs more sessions and ongoing maintenance. Your doctor suggests a number based on your skin.
Is there downtime?
Pico toning usually causes only mild redness for a few hours. Spot treatment for darker lesions can leave small scabs for about a week. Redness lasers may cause brief flushing or, occasionally, bruising.
Can laser make pigmentation worse?
It can if the energy is too strong for your skin type or if the skin is sunburned, which is why settings are chosen carefully and melasma is treated gently. Daily sunscreen after treatment is essential.
Can I treat uneven skin tone on a short trip?
Yes, toning has little downtime. In a short stay you may only fit one or two sessions, so expect a gradual change rather than a full course. Tell your doctor your travel dates.
What can I do at home?
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, avoid picking spots and use gentle skincare. These protect your results and slow new pigment from forming.
